About

The Read This! project creates a shared experience through storytelling, history and research while opening space for meaningful community dialogue. By inviting students, faculty, and the public to engage with the same book, the project fosters thoughtful discussion of timely and complex issues.

Funds raised support author visits and provide books to community partners, expanding access and deepening participation across the region.

“Read This is a valuable program that brings students, faculty, and the public together by reading the same book, and is enriched by a variety of perspectives from across the disciplines. It fulfills the essence of the university ideal.”
— Tom Wing, assistant professor of history
